I specialize in supporting adolescents and adults who have experienced sexual assault and relationship abuse. Many of my clients feel lost, emotionally overwhelmed, and struggle with understanding how their identities have changed. They often experience a sense of isolation from their support networks and find it challenging to access joy and relaxation in their lives. Additionally, they may have developed a fear of men or relationships in general, making it difficult for them to feel connected and safe in their own bodies. I also work with clients who are wanting to heal childhood trauma from growing up in dysfunctional families.

Finding the right therapist is sometimes difficult. Therapy starts with finding someone who matches your personality and developing a relationship with an individual that you can trust. I believe in learning about who you are, the complete picture, and helping you define and achieve the goals that are important to you. No judgment, just a safe place to work through things you would otherwise bottle up. I will challenge you to feel things, learn to choose better paths even when normally you might choose the same old thing that makes you feel stuck.

Being a human can feel so overwhelming! Relationship issues, career difficulties, grief and loss, and the general state of the world can make finding joy seem impossible. Through sharing our stories we can gain clarity, enabling us to see the joy again. I serve as a supportive, empathetic collaborator for your story-shaping. The process can be enlightening, messy, confusing ... even fun. I aspire to show up for all of it, authentically, with compassion, and at times with a metaphor or cheesy pun.
